Summer's Busy, But I'm Checking In...

Summer posts are just not happening this year, but I thought I'd pop in to share a couple of things I've finished.

"Snakes and Ladders" is now finished and framed and will be showing at the Halton Hills Cultural Centre as part of our Group of Eight show, running from August 18th until September 20. If you're in the area, I hope you'll stop by to see our work.

"Stitch Meanderings" is also finished and mounted onto a stretched canvas. You can come and see it in person at the show too.

I've also been busy making an I Spy quilt. I'll post pictures of that when I get a chance. Until then, I hope you're having a wonderful August!

I am a fibre and mixed media artist who works primarily with my own hand-dyed fabrics, fibres and threads. I enjoy creating unique pieces using various surface design techniques.
In the spring of 2006 my friend Heather and I started the 'Group of Eight Fibre Artists’ or GOE (rhymes with toe) as we refer to ourselves. We meet monthly, inspiring and challenging one another in our art.
I also enjoy photography and art journalling and I try to make time for art daily. I say try, because all of this art is fit into my volunteer role as a foster 'Mom' to Future Dog Guides which I raise for the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides. I raise these incredible puppies from 6 1/2 weeks until they are about 10 to 12 months old, teaching them all of their basic commands and socializing them, getting them ready for life as a working guide dog for one of six roles: Canine Vision, Hearing Ear, Autism Assistance, Seizure Response, Diabetic Alert or Service Dog for the Physically or Medically Disabled.
